Gransfors splitting maul

[njc110381]

I thought I'd bring this one back up now I've used the axe a bit. So far so good seems to be the answer. it's a very nice axe to use. The one fault I could mention is that the steel seems to rust very easily, but that's easily fixed with a light coat of oil after use. It holds an edge perfectly, splits some fairly large rounds with ease and doesn't get stuck. It deals with knotty wood better than I expected, as it's sharp enough to cut through small knots when it gets to them. I'm very happy with it. I've split about 4 tons of wood with it so far, so not a lot but enough to get an idea of its performance. A good investment I feel!
